Are you trying to say that states or organizations fighting same sex marriage being legal, fighting for bans on same sex marriage don't have the funds to do this? Because that belief holds no water. In fact, when it comes to states defending this discrimination, it is our tax dollars being spent to defend this unconstitutional crap.

The Bible didnt say it was a perversion...it said it was a sin....no better and no worse than fornicating and adultery. Why arent you freaking out over those sinners marrying and fouling marriage?

Your 'sky is falling' assumption that even more 'fouling' of marriage will occur is silly and unfounded....It's just like...using the exact same words....as those objecting to interracial marriage...they considered that 'fouling' too. And those people and their ignorance and hate (yes, because they do not care about the humans they would deny happiness) DISGUST me.

And there will not be assaults on churches (not successful anyway). The govt legally does not have that power. And gays can already find plenty of churches of many denominations to marry them.

So the only way they could find happiness is to get married, oh brother.

There was no drama...just facts. Like how the Bible describes those sins...ignored. Like how people said interracial marriage was 'fouling' it...*just like YOU*......it's not about the 'reason,' like race or sex....it's about how ignorant people view it and judge it.

You had no answer for a single thing in my post. Noted.

Please explain how something that harms no one else (nor themselves) can be immoral?

Lots of things are 'sins' according to the Bible, still doenst make them immoral. And all other sinners are allowed to marry so it still doesnt even make sense....you just dont like thinking about all that geigh sex....so dont....it's none of your business and you are some kind of a pervert if that is the only thing you think of when you think of gay people.

Is sex the only thing you think about when you look at straight couples? (That would be creepy too).

Why would you care if there were civil unions? You wouldnt get one, would you? Why would you?

You would be happy being married in the church, with none of the govt-provided benefits and privileges, correct?

Not only that, Christian gays believe the same things you do, and deserve the same marriages...they are exactly the same to them. Thankfully, many Christian churches will marry them so they can enjoy the same marriage as you.

Reason: clarified for silliness on 'encroachment.'
